He's a little stronger than a lego, drops battle plans and on occasion drops the axe. Darish is not hard at all, I easily solo'd him with my 14 pally shortly after completing my defender armor quest. Oh, I camped the TR for a month period and I've never seen him shape-shift, he respawned in front of the giant throne every time just like he should. Then again, I'm on the Mithaniel Marr server, I don't know what everyone else plays........

they are for the newbie druid weapon, the scimitar of the leafrunner. you turn in the plans and i think 2 jawbones to the person that gives the armor quest and she gives you the scimitar. its only a 5 24 weapon

I have never seen anything of the Darish-Shapeshifting nature but some shapeshifting has occured with me whilst in Clan Crush bone. However in my case the individual who was shape-erm...shiftened was my season eleven or so High elf mage Yalia. In Yalia's primary weapon slot was the dagger he received at the very begining and in his secondary was a simple torch given to him as a gift. Now the strange thing was that whenever I Ld'd or happened to Camp in Crush Bone (Don't ask why I did) I would always return to find Yalia bald, now i had spent a fairly good long time equiping Yalia with the initiates cap and i found it rather feching so when i would change view for one reason or another i was shocked to find a bald Yalia. So i would hit my trusty "I" Key on the ne interface and take off the cap, Yalia's hair would appear, then i would re-equip my green cap and it would appear too.

However this is not the strangest thing that happened. The item in question was the torch i had in the secondary weapon slot. For several reasons i would occaisionally find myself in the watery rivers that inhabit CB, either through cowerdice in the throne room or through accidents in the dark i would end up in the water. The continuous accidents in the dark were one of the reasons I obtained the torch in the first place. Now despite my handy little light bringer i would still find myself in the watery depths but a strange thing occured when I climbed out on one of the many ladders. The graphic of a small smouldering torch ahd been replaced with that of a crystaline, icey, absolutely huge mace. It looked like it may be a two handed weapon and i imagine only equipable by the stronger races. As a mage Yalia very rarely melee attacked so i never saw it until people started quizing me upon the subject and i changed view. There it was a huge great mace just sitting in my left hand. So i would un-equip it and the mace would dissapear, then re-equip and the torch would appear but the second i stepped foot in the water it would turn into the graphic of the mace again. Sorry to prattle on but has anyone else ever had a similair thing happen?

Both of these have happened to me too, I wear an Executioner's Hood and occasionally it disappears to make me look bald... but sometimes when I take the Hood off I find that I have a different color hair and must use /face to change it back. The torch thing, some lightsources go out when you go into water, but I used to wield a Smoldering Brand (9/22 1hb +3str Effect: Burn) and whenever I dived into water it would change to that of a Velium spear (not sure which though, not familiar with piercing that much). I guess there are certain bugs with Luclin graphics that VI hasn't gotten around to yet.

Ok, this was without a doubt the strangest thing that's ever happened to me in Everquest. Shortly after entering CB with a low level group we decided to rest up near the zone to Gfay where the tunnel ends (you can see the sky and the banners on either side). So were medding up and stuff and I turn around to see some orc standing there doing nothing.... his name Lord Darish!!! I conned him and he was red (I was lvl 9 at the time). So I ask if anyone knows wehat's up and they didn't so I ask "can we take him?" So of course the 4 or 5 of us target him and start attacking and nothing happens! No damage no retaliation, he just stands there. No one knows what's going on then all of a sudden he changes form into that little red flying devil thingy you see all the time like someones pet (later I discovered that it looked just like the red thing you see in the throne room every once in a while). Someone said it was an enchanter playing games or someones pet. And just as the person finished typing that line the thing attacked me!!! And killed me in like 2-3 hits. This was too bizare for words and since I didn't know the other people in the group by name I was never able to figure out what happened to the rest of them or this shape changing mob after I died. Can anyone shed any light in on this strange event? Was it a super glitch? A lvl 60 pc playing games? Or some magician's pet we attacked? I am dying to know. P.S. This happened on Xev server.

This Lord Darish guy can see invisible i have been atacked 2 times by this guy while i was invisible one whit my lvl 16 wis, i enter to TR and he was there so i say cool no one see me i am invisible when i got close to him he when directly at me to atack and then i apear and all the legos around him start atacking me i manage to get out of there almost die, ok and the second time was whit a halfling rogue while i was whit sneak hide i went a TR No one saw me and when i got close to darish he bonk me on the head and all legos star attaking me =) ouch...

The Axes I've never seen on my server. Always when I camp the TR, he appears, but cons yellow. Drops raw hide junk. Only take this guy out with groups though. Anyone know odds of getting it? Plus, now Im lvl 13.

This dude is a pain at lower levels. Me and a friend were being powerleveled and this guy still gave us trouble. Of course we also had a couple legos and the prophet beating on us but this guy hits hard.

Posted:Sep 05 2001 at 10:59 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) my 20th dark elf warrior takes him easy. i lose, let's see...lol, maybe 1 bub of health? max. he's a pushover. i have taken him many times already. hell, my wood elven druid on sullon was able to solo both him and the warlord at level 13.( separately of course) now, i will admit i took advantage of a certain pathing bug and used all my mana. i even had to meditate a bit while he was ensnared and taking the path of death. then i just had to cast treeform and shield of thistles on myself and finished the job. not easy, but it works if you dont' get more than one or two resists on your initial attack.

My woodelf ranger is now 17 and use this in dual wield. got that in frquently slay darish. i found works pretty good, quick and double strike. I wonder where i should got something better in this level, under the fact thats my first and not twinked char.

I hadn't even heard he dropped a two hander. Anyway. he spawns over by the throne in the throne room. i dono how often but not incredibly long.

But this guy isn't really hard to kill at the same level, just dont get other orcs following you!
